Bookends - suggestion for importing

[AdamWysokinski]

Hi,
Please consider and let us know what do you think about this improvement in the search window:

In the search window, where results of Pubmed/etc. query are displayed, each entry in the list would have a “tick button” to mark items for importing. Many times I have a long list of entries and need to browse through the list before importing them. Being able to mark items for importing would help a lot.

This should not be very difficult to code, but it would make a HUGE help during imports.

Regards,
Adam

This would be a substantial change in the UI that would actually make more work for the large majority of times where you are not selecting from a large number of references, just selecting the one you want. Since Bookends turns imported references yellow (for PubMed and some others), you can import in batches in one session and see what you have imported and what remains, it doesn't have to be one monolithic import. For these reasons I am very reluctant to add the overhead of checkboxes to the import window. But I'd like to hear what others think. So I invite comments from others.
